It is possible to put any view over a VideoView? (I.e. put the control buttons over the video, like in vimeo). I'm trying to do it using FrameLayout, but I have not found the way, and I'm still not sure if what I'm trying to do something that's is simply not possible.
I do this sort of thing with FrameLayout. What you need to do is make sure that the controls are below the VideoView in the Layout Editor.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@color/MenuTextNormal">
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/VideoView"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/ControlLayout"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal">
<Button
android:text="@+id/Button01"
android:id="@+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:text="@+id/Button02"
android:id="@+id/Button02"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:text="@+id/Button03"
android:id="@+id/Button03"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:text="@+id/Button04"
android:id="@+id/Button04"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
